Cavernous infarct foci refer to the imaging manifestations of cavernous cerebral infarction, and treatment is mainly pharmacologic with aspirin and other medications as appropriate.
Cavernous infarct foci are usually caused by occlusion of small penetrating arteries deep in the cerebral hemispheres or brainstem, and advanced age, smoking, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and family history are the main risk factors for the development of this disease. Cavernous ischemic stroke infarct foci are an imaging manifestation due to ischemia and hypoxia of brain tissue.
Old infarct foci usually require no specific treatment. When new lacunar infarct foci are accompanied by neurological symptoms, aspirin, clopidogrel, edaravone and other drugs can be used according to the situation, and thrombolytic therapy, such as urokinase, is also effective for acute lacunar infarcts within the time window.
At the same time, hypertensive patients should appropriately apply metoprolol and other antihypertensive treatment, and hyperlipidemic patients should appropriately apply atorvastatin calcium and other lipid-lowering treatment.
Cavernous cerebral infarction generally has a good prognosis, and drugs should be used as prescribed by the doctor.
